Nineteen - Charleston Flapper Halloween Costumes: The Shocking 1920's
Be flirty and giggly for Halloween with flapper Halloween costumes. Made famous as a symbol of the rip-roaring 1920's, flappers were outrageous for the times they lived in. Flapper Halloween costumes are easy to make and easily recognized by others familiar with a time when the talk was all about the ""Gibson Girls"".
Women in those times preferred dresses (often called ""shifts"") that skimmed the figure. Often sleeveless, the dresses were adorned with pearls and sequins and almost always had fringe sewn to them at the hemline. The ladies wore heavy makeup, slinky dresses and headbands decorated with baubles or feathers and were known for dancing the ""Charleston"" and their wild and crazy ways. These were shocking women for the times they lived in, smoking and drinking just as men did. This may not sound like much considering current fashions but in the 1920's the brash rebellion of flappers was a source of gossip and outrage - and bit of envy, too.
Flapper Halloween costumes are easy to make, although if you prefer to buy one you will still have many options. Homemade costumes tend to be the most customized, however, you can always add to and modify any store bought attire. Every season, retailers and costume stores feature a selection of flapper-wear in a variety of colors and styles.
Flapper dresses were flashy and meant to get the attention of the more staid members of that society. Flapper girls were considered shocking. They drank and smoked and said words no lady would say. Most of all - they were fun. They partied their way through life and every day was a new adventure.
Spice up your costume with pops such as headbands with feathers and sequins glued on. Use satiny material for your dress and the longest fringe you can find in the notions section of your local fabric store. Short wrist-length gloves are an accurate prop and don't forget a long, sexy cigarette holder you can wave around (but you don't have to light up).
The shoes these women wore often had a tall heel. They may be difficult to walk in if you are not accustomed to the height. The colors included just as much variety as their Charleston dresses did, some drew attention with glittery silvers and other shimmery colors.
If you plan to walk or dance for hours in your sequin Charleston dress you might opt to wear low heeled shoes for comfort. Low heels of that time period were slippers (later the same design was called ""flats""). They also were constructed of colorful fabrics or covered in shiny metallic or glittered in colors that shimmered.
There are many options available in modern shoes that will work will with your bad girl image. Wearing a moderate height heel with a heel that flares at the bottom will provide stability but if the shoes are new be sure to break them in before the holiday.
Flapper Halloween costumes are a fun and symbolic reminder of the 1920s. Commemorate this decade by revealing your own outrageous and rebellious side! The costumes are easy to find, with plenty of options appearing each year. Add a little realism to you costume by learning flapper slang (yes, they had their own slang)! Consider getting a few friends to dress the same, so that you can show off your flapper Halloween costumes as a group! Edited by Hetsil Protage
